Default throttle servo

Hey im looking at throttle servos. I know i want a hitec. But on specs im not sure. I know i want fast as possible but how about tq oz? What do i want minimum, and can most hitec servos handle 7.4v even though it might not say it? Thank you!

Default Up to you..

I believe 150 oz is enough for buggy, prob want a bit more for truggy... .10-.14 for speed. the faster the better in my opinion...

7955, 7940, or 7950 are the only 3 Hitech servo's that will handle direct Lipo. 7955 is the least expensive of the 3.

just didnt like them, felt slow and kinda hesitated. they were smooth tho. just not for me... the more expensive ones are better when running lipo but still didnt feel as fastest as they are supposed to be... still good servos for the price, i just rather spend a little more for something i like more... i only run NiMh and LiFe batteries.
